Date: Sun 30-Aug-1990 20:33:03 From: Unknown Subject: How do you open a Librarian index from a shell? I'm writing a small FrameMaker hypertext application. I would like to have my hypertext node activate the Digital Librarian with a specific index selected. A FrameMaker hypertext node can pass a command to sh (it can also message a FrameMaker client, but that sounds beyond my reach). I can always use /usr/bin/open to activate the Digital Librarian. But I'd also like to select an index that might not be in the user's personal targets. /usr/bin/open appears not to recognize index files: .index opens as a browser folder and index.D opens in Edit. I queried furiously within the NeXT documentation, but could only discover that NeXT recommends that applications have a Request menu to pass selected text to the Librarian and activate the Librarian. My grateful thanks for any ideas, Article 7631 of comp.sys.next: >From: eps@toaster.SFSU.EDU (Eric P. Scott)
